+1 for handbrake

a little higher up than the rest. a view of the crater rim at the summit of kili at 6am. you cant really see it in this picture but you could see the curvature of the earth looking across the tops of the clouds. amazing!

EDIT- goan yours is the winner so far, really impressive. im planning on climbing mera or island peak at some point in the near future cant wait.

err bombtrack…. best song they performed at leeds 08 by a mile. was such good fun!!

already getting it resprayed. by a local powdercoater though… paying 35 quid i think for paint stripping then repainting in 'kawasaki' green. hopefully should look good. wouldnt have paid 100+ for it to be resprayed by orange, no matter how good they are.

its for a 223

dave- send me a PM, very interested….

cheers for finding out joe.

ill drop you an email tomorrow at some point then.

James

cool will do, cheers

good stuff!!

ill have one to please: to jammy111(at)gmail(dot)com

thanks

I think that if the asking price is paid, then the item should be insured as this is what you would expect to be included in the price.

However if the price has been haggled down then i wouldn't expect an item to be insured; and it is the buyers prerogative to ensure that it is, or be aware that if it doesn't turn up they have no come back…

petzl tikka plus. is great, (good enough to get me to the top of kilimanjaro in the dark anyway)- got to cotswold outdoor, they will do you a discount (i got 20% for doing world challenge :D)

+1 for handbrake, its awesome!

tthew- website looks good! any chance of a link to the one best suited on that website? Too many codes etc for me to understand.

defaultslipper- £8 quid ish for new bearings and about 20mins work isnt that much effort is it?

ok maybe i should explain a bit better. is there a difference in quality / a better shop to buy them from than say for example ebay.

cmon u cant blame the council if you had already been warned about sub-zero temps….

ok cheers guys.

so ill be fine to send then?

any more opinions? still not sure how the whole transfer thing works. have paypal actually got the money in their account when it shows in my balance or is that just a 'pending getting the money from his bank' balance. I don't want to post them for paypal to email me tomorrow saying they weren't able to get the funds from his account and have hence cancelled the bank transfer to mine.

thats a very good deal. is it the 3gs though and do you have to pay for the handset? im paying 35 a month with orange for the same mins/texts and had to pay for the phone as well.

i've always worn goggles and always will. they keep your face warmer. they stop wind blowing in your eyes. when you fall over they don't get lost in the snow/smashed. only upside of sunnies is they look better in some people opinions.

The water will freeze and wont take too long to do it- whilst climbing kilimanjaro we had hot water in our camelbaks and it froze within about 3 hours (whilst using the blow back technique) and that was at about -10/15 celsius ish.
Best advice is pack a flask with something nice and hot in if you are wanting to take drinks with you. Personally, i rarely get thirsty skiing and tend to stop at one of the huts if i do need anything.

(the neoprene thing is a waste of time so save your 18 quid)

for 9 quid ill take a punt. if its shit ill send it back and get a royal racing one from JE james as they are dong them for 20 quid!

well CRC are doing some good deals on no fear ones atm. might just buy and find out, they are only a 9 quid with the 10% discount this weekend.

use up your ram for processing graphics. a dedicated graphics card uses its own memory.
basically a dedicated card is much better if you are planning on doing graphic heavy work with photo/video processing, gaming etc If you are just planning on using the thing for word processing, music etc it will be fine.

I live in durham so could get the frame off shackleton and do any spannering that needs doing to add the other parts to the frame. i'm a student so got plenty of time. Plus it saves on posting the most costly part of the bike somewhere to get built up. someone PM me if this is any use.

James

will the shop know what length i need or is that for me to find out beforehand??

Am i looking at a quid or two or is it going to be one of those rip off parts such as lost rebound adjusters etc etc etc

James

a mate has the leon, ive got the ibiza sc. i'd say both are nice cars but mine is nicer as its the sport version rather than the s. this means mine has nicer seats, alloys and a bit of leather splashed around the steering wheel and gear knob, plus sporty suspension set up. If the one you are looking at is decent trim level you cant go wrong- seats are great value for money and have a nice sporty feel to them! plus the 0% finance i got on mine helps 😀

could get some tora's or maybe some recons for 100 quid….

probably a good shout. ill go have a look before buying.

ok cheers for the advice guys.

mboy- very interested in the mrp you have for sale. could i get some pics and a price to the email in my profile?

James

I once came across a beaver when I was out on a ride.

oh dear 😕

time to man up and buy some bling that isnt for your bike, or both maybe :wink:???

just force it down, makes your stomach 'expand' then you can eat more again. some thing happened to me after spending a month in africa eating beans and porridge all the time.

already am 😉

cullen-bay – you seem like exactly the kind of tw@ i was talking about.

ok u give it a go… only thing i could find is some bloke on sdh wanting 500quid for one.

bright yellow!!!

the gold bit isnt the crown race. the crown race is the ring of metal that goes over the steerer of the forks and what the bearings run on.

cheers for the non sarcastic comments guys!

the_lecht_rocks- sorry bud, got to be back for work on sat night. wish i could stay longer though.
